The Dudes of Davie (DOD)

In today’s rapidly evolving youth sports landscape, The DOD looks forward to delving deep into the multifaceted world of young athletes and their families. We intend on exploring how parental involvement shapes children’s experiences, the shifting dynamics of youth sports in America, and the profound implications of early athletic pursuits. From the pressures of early specialization to the financial and emotional investments families make, we will shed light on what it truly means to be a young athlete and a supportive parent. Join us as we navigate the challenges, celebrate the triumphs, and discuss the long-term impacts of youth sports participation. Plus our NBA and NHL playoff predictions. Hosts: Lonny Greenberg and Stefan Miller

The Dudes of Davie touch them all. We welcome back our beloved panel of baseball experts. Vince from Philly, Justin from LA but is a die hard Cubs fan who eats ice cream with Clayton Kershaw and Alex who is the only one who actually played the game, share their opinions as we discuss the 2025 season. Is anyone beating the Dodgers? Is the NL East the toughest division in baseball? Will Shohai pitch and what does that mean for the Dodgers now and in the future? Are the RedSox back? Rookies to watch, the Steroid era, who should be in the Hall and who is going to win the World Series. If you love baseball, look no further. Hosts: Lonny Greenberg and Stefan Miller Guests: Vince, Justin and Alex

The biggest trade in NBA history, perhaps. Why did the Mavericks make this trade? Luka in his prime, what the hell is going on? We weren't planning on doing a podcast this week but then again, top 5 players in their prime don't get traded, ever. The DOD is back without guests to discuss, debate, dissect and digest the Lakers acquisition of Luka Donic. This trade is like a 9.0 earthquake on the Richter scale and will have an impact on the entire league for years to come. In the second part of the podcast, our attention turns to the last game of the football season, the Super Bowl, between the Chiefs and Lonny's Eagles. Are the Chiefs destined to become the first football team in history to three-peat? Or, will Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts and Jalen Carter carry the Eagles to their second super bowl victory since 2018. Tune in to find out. Hosts: Lonny Greenberg and Stefan Miller

There is one month left in America's favorite sport and it's the playoffs! Join us as we discuss the good, the bad and the ugly from this past regular season. We then dive into America's current darling, the Detroit Lions, securing a first round bye and home field advantage through the playoffs. We have waited a year to have season ticket holder and die hard Lions fan, Dylan Beznos on the pod, and we finally did it. Dylan joins us from Detroit to share his passion and insight into Dan Campbell's beloved knee biters. As usual, when we talk football, Nephew Brennan joins us to give us his hot takes. The four of us share our playoff and super bowl predictions. Will it be the season of destiny for the Lions? A three peat for Andy and Mahomes? Will Lamar or Josh Allen finally break through? Perhaps some Harbaugh magic? Tune in to find out. Hosts: Lonny Greenberg and Stefan Miller Guests: Dylan Beznos and Brennan Miller

But, in order to achieve all that, there is something that everyone counts, tracks, studies, and utilizes to their advantage, and those are Analytics and Data. The DOD welcomes analytics guru in the making, Brody Kwiat to the pod. We discuss how Brody has taken his knowledge of math and love of sports and merged them to develop algorithms and models to predict performance and anticipate results. Brody walks us through his background, some of his models and gives us a peak behind the statistics curtain. If you want some insight into how to become better at fantasy football, develop a new perspective while watching baseball and simply want to figure out how to gain an advantage when predicting sport outcomes, you need to listen to this podcast.
